Chapter 240
When she opened her eyes again, the glaring sunlight streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows and slowly filled the room. Looking around, the surroundings felt cozy but somewhat unfamiliar.
Just as she was about to ask herself where she was, the door was pushed open, and Hailey came in with a glass of warm water.
“Eleanor, you’re awake?”
Seeing Hailey Eleanor guessed this must be Hailey’s new place.
Struggling to support her weak body, she got out of bed.
“Don’t move, you should stay in bed…
After putting down the glass, Hailey helped Eleanor lean against the head of the bed.
“I called a doctor to come and check on you. He said you fainted because you got too emotional..
Eleanor managed a weak smile, “Thank you, Hailey”
Hailey straightened Eleanor’s hair and said softly, “Silly girl, why are you being so normal with me? Taking care of you is my responsibility as your older sister.”
The warmth of her words and the familiar gestures made Eleanor’s heart feel warm, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Hailey caressed her face lovingly. Eleanor, don’t cry anymore, it hurts me to see it.”
Eleanor obediently nodded, choking back her tears.
Seeing Eleanor so obedient and adorable, Hailey couldn’t help but smile.
Her Eleanor was still alive, and life was once again filled with hope…..
Hailey picked up the glass again, asking Eleanor to drink some water first.
After finishing her water, Eleanor turned to Hailey and asked, “Hailey, can you take me to Garett’s grave?”
Hailey put the glass down and said gently “He doesn’t have a grave. The Clowers family said they scattered his ashes into the sea.”
After learning of Garett’s death, she had tried to find him but arrived after his funeral had been taken care of by the Clowers family.
Upon hearing this news. Eleanor’s tears flowed once again…
He didn’t even have a grave, as if he had never left a trace in this world.
That young man had always been so pure and innocent, yet he had vanished from this world in such a manner.
Seeing Eleanor’s tears, Hailey handed her a tissue and whispered comforting words, “Eleanor, let’s wait until our lives come to an end, and then we’ll go find him. By then, we’ll continue being family in heaven”
She had once dreamed of Eleanor wanting to build a big house for them and they will all live in it.
In reality, Hailey bought a villa according to the dream, with a similar style
However, with the dream becoming reality, she found herself alone, trapped in the memories of the past…
Now Eleanor was back by her side, but she wasn’t sure if they could wait for Garett’s return…

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
